Rhythmic Rhymes

I was sitting in my balcony one day, A cool breeze was blowing away, There was calm & quiet all around, Except in my heart & mind. There was so much unrest, so much strife, So many questions, so much pain, Many past memories made their way, Some happy, some sad. Feelings of separation, tore the heart, Oh so many & so much had I lost. Those friends who were once so close, Those people like family who were adored, Those souls who distanced themselves as times changed, Those ties that were broken never to be bound again. A few I lost forever, I still can't believe, But death is a sad & harsh reality, Some just went so far away, I wish I could bring them close to me again. Change is something that my heart constantly fears, But attachments to people is what makes the pain so real, The turmoil, the chaos makes me sad & lonely, I just want to be surrounded by my friends & family. I sat there numb, so many thoughts in my mind, I wanted to so...

Trudging along a straight path I am, Everything around seems to be moving according to a plan, My mind is clear, directing a way, But my heart has a different opinion to say. I had chosen this route with my own free will, With energy and confidence I was completely filled, I didn't walk, I ran, wanting to compete with the rest, In a match of unequals I was striving to be the best. Then confidence through experience with me caught, And my running feet suddenly screeched to a stop, I looked at myself, I was drained beyond time, Almost like stagnancy had hit me in my prime. My mind doesn't see it, but my heart's crying out loud, It is suffocated between the busy, competitive crowd, While my mind is busy running behind a crazy goal, My heart has already taken a flight to a new world whole. Snow clad mountains all around, The full moon is peeping from behind a cloud, Lush green grass is offering a soft bed, Into this heart's fantasy place I am led. ...

I peeked in with a hope new, That I will rise to see the light, That the sun will shine on me as on him, And I will brighten all lives, fill them with joy to the brim. But I didn't see light the first time, She was forced to let go of me midway, She cried, I cried but no one heard, I just want a chance, I choked as I whimpered. I peeked again, determined to try, This time I finally saw the first light, Joy filled my kiddish heart with innocent dreams, But I was silenced one night, nobody heard my scream. I peeked yet again, I didn't want to quit, This time I reached pretty far ahead, I was soaking in wisdom, preparing for my goal, But I was dragged into a faceless mass, bleeding and torn. But I peeked again, it seems I don't learn, And this time I thought I'll fulfill my dreams, I was close but some hounds stopped me one night midway, And I didn't see the sun rise from the next day. I peeked again and again and again, Each time in a differ...

Once upon a time, a long while ago, A little girl wanted nothing more, Than to get out in the world, learn to fly, Be the best out there, no matter how long she took to try. Perseverant she was, ever since a kid, Not the one to ever easily quit, But she had to take brave decisions, change a few paths, In the hope of achieving that dream that followed her heart. It was not easy, for there were obstacles great, Convincing people around that she was not going astray, It was the road not taken by most people known, Success on it was decidedly not proven. But she stuck to it and began the journey she had dreamt, In view of her big dream it was but a small step, Out in the world she was, independent and proud, Trying to prove her worth to the people around. Her ambition is huge, she has miles   left to go, No time to pause but at times her resolve weaker grows, For in the journey of being confident and strong, Is lost the once familiar feeling of warmth.
